i mentioned a few things in my other post (where i also mentioned i thought he has been a mediocre president). I'm just trying to get people to think critically about their opinions rather than making ridiculous statements like 'obama put our country in the shitter!'.
havax is kind of missing the point tho

I dont understand when 'progress' became a four letter word.
Obama has tried, futilely, to bring republicans to the negotiating table at every fucking step along the way. They never came up with anything resembling a viable alternative to Obamacare despite the unanimous recognition that our healthcare system is horribly broken. Obama made concession after concession, whittling down the holy grail of a public option/single-payer system into the current convoluted, private-leaning system that is only marginally better than what we had before.
I don't want to digress too far down the healthcare road though, because the same can be said for almost every major national matter since Obama assumed office. Obama comes to the table with sensible/moderate policy initiatives (with a left-leaning slant), Republicans block everything in lockstep, Obama tries to negotiate, Republicans are still adamantly opposed with no signs of relenting, and then nothing happens.
I can understand how people are turned off by this presidency, but the true, inarguable fact is that 'progress' in our country is stifled by only one side of the aisle. Almost every Washington republican is so far down in big businesses' pockets that they subsist on the pocket lint that surrounds them (and they make a pretty good living at it).
That's not to say that democrats are much better, but the tangible attempts at 'progress' for the middle- and lower-class (i.e. just about everyone who posts on Tribalwar) come from democrats. I don't understand how anyone who makes less than $100k a year could vote for a Washington republican because it is so goddamned obvious that they do not give one shit about anything other than corporate subsidies, loopholes and deregulation at any expense to a prosperous economy. Don't even get me started on foreign policy, science, diplomacy, abortion, etc.
Washington republicans will burn in hell for the shit they are doing to undermine this country. I hope I'm not alive when it all crumbles down.

ascotia, lay off the koolaid, bro.
if you think for one fucking second that the democrats are any different, then they have been successful at pulling the wool over your eyes, and that makes YOU look really stupid.
i mean do you REALLY think that those democrat politicians give two shits about you or this country's well being? hahaha
hell, i knew they were good liars, but if they have people like you thinking the way you do, imma have to give them more credit for being the lying kings.

The party of omg we have to do something
Brings us disaster after disaster
Fixes debt and deficits with even bigger ones
Then tries to legislate us out of crippling bureaucracy
We would be there by now if it wasnt for these pesky tea baggers

People making 100k should vote democrat though
Because paying more, or several more times, for something you already had is in your best interests (be it healthcare, energy, to taxes)
The difference is that they actually do attempt to bring positive change for low-, middle-, and upper-middle-class individuals with real, visible legislation. The problem is this:
Buying votes with others time and money is true altruism
Democrats are mother teresa of our time

again, you are fooling yourself if you believe for one second that any of that proposed legislation was attempting to bring positive change for low/middle class individuals. i guarantee you that all of that legislation was put forth to bring positive votes to their party and cash flow to their wallets and their lobbyists. it also had the positive affect of forcing the opposition to stop it, making the opposition look terrible to low info voters while making the legislation pushers look like great guys.

So I guess you're saying that the government has never done anything good for the public at large. Is that right?
My view goes beyond what you and Tele would call wealth redistribution. Infrastructure, environmental regulation, schools, parks services, and the countless other necessary federally-funded entities are all dependent on a well-functioning government.
One party is willing to shut down the government, march stone-faced into sequester cuts and over fiscal cliffs because they don't like some piece of legislation that they've already tried to repeal 50 times.
I'm not going to vote for that party.
